Pa. Poll: Race Now Tied 47 to 47

The battleground state of Pennsylvania is now a dead heat for President Barack Obama and former Gov. Mitt Romney, according to a new Tribune-Review poll.

Both candidates earned 47 percent support in the final days before Keystone State voters head to the polls to decide their 20 electoral votes.

“They’re both in here because of exactly what you’re seeing” in this poll, observed Jim Lee, president of Susquehanna Polling & Research, which conducted the poll of 800 likely voters between Oct. 29-31 after Hurricane Sandy ravaged parts of the state, according to the newspaper.

The margin of error is 3.46 percentage points.
